We envy celebrities we see on the big screen for their flawless skin, perfectly styled hair and beautifully shaped eyes but that is only achieved because they have a team of talented makeup artists, hairstylists, and wardrobe consultants fussing over them every 5 minutes on set. Take away the Hollywood magic and what do you get?

1. Lady Gaga

Notorious for her highly dramatic makeup, wardrobe and over-the-top antics, the Mother Monster without cosmetics is as scary as a cherub. With big doe, deep-set eyes, light pink lips and a fair complexion, she is the face of innocence, a stark contrast to her stage personality.

2. Mila Kunis

People love her because she is an awesome human being. She is real and unpretentious, so much so that she doesn't even mind going out in public without a scrap of makeup on her face.

3. Jennifer Lopez

She's definitely still Jenny from the block.

4. Nicole Scherzinger

The lead sexbomb from The Pussycat Dolls posted this picture on twitter, so she clearly has nothing to hide.

5. Olivia Wilde

I bet the guys still go wild for Olivia Wilde without makeup.

6. Britney Spears

Britney has been through a lot.

7. Madonna

Erm...

8. Kate Moss

Don't do coke kids.

9. Katy Perry

Rumor has it that Katy Perry and Tom Hiddleston are the same person.

10. Sofia Vergara

Unrecognizable but still gorgeous.

11. Tyra Banks

Tyra might have lost the sun-kissed glow from makeup but she is still fiercely working it.

12. Kim Kardashian

This is what Kanye wakes up to every morning.

13. Christina Aguilera

Striped of her makeup, Christina Aguilera looks like the sweet girl next door.

14. Beyonce

The Queen Bee is still as gorgeous as ever even without makeup. Jay-Z is a very lucky man.

These photos just go to show that the impossibly high standards set for women is fabricated by the entertainment industry. Underneath all those layers of foundation and blusher are ladies who look just like you and me. Love yourself for you are beautiful in your own way, and you don't even need the help of professional stylists for that!
